The world's top golfer and Tiger Woods are on the same team now - at least when it comes to sponsorship. McIlroy officially made the switch to the swoosh Monday as Nike confirmed one of the worst-kept secrets in golf, announcing it had signed a multiyear deal with the top-ranked Northern Irishman. Nike did not disclose financial details, but industry observers estimate that McIlroy will be paid up to $20 million a year to use the company's equipment and apparel. McIlroy said he was "really excited" to start the season and insisted he has made a "seamless" adjustment to his new equipment.

The king of the fourth-quarter comeback agreed with Denver head coach John Fox's decision to have Peyton Manning take a knee at his 20-yard line with 31 seconds left in regulation and two timeouts in a tied game Saturday. "I thought it was the right thing at that time," said Elway, the team's executive vice president. "I think with where the team was mentally and the situation we were in, I thought that it was a good move." The Ravens won in overtime. "Hopefully, we're back in this situation again," Elway said, "and we will have looked at it the right way and learned from the situation."
